LONDON — London Fashion Week might not have had big designer debuts this season like Milan and Paris, but it did have its first season under Laura Weir , the newly appointed chief executive officer of the British Fashion Council.

And, if buyers’ reactions to the shows are any indication, it was a good start.

Buyers were moved by the city’s youthful energy and daring show formats, from Dilara Findikoglu’ s show at the Ironmonger’s Hall in Barbican to Erdem ’s takeover of the British Museum.

Many retailers pointed to the romanticism coming out of the city from Roksanda , Erdem and Simone Rocha . Other collections they praised included Daniel Lee’s Burberry lineup, Dilara Findikoglu and Conner Ives.

Here, buyers discuss some of the week’s highlights.
